After the luck of rebirth was taken away, the true and false daughters teamed up

Chapter 346: There is no free advantage

Thinking of this, Madam Zheng took a deep breath, gave a deep blessing, and said with guilt on her face: "I'm sorry, I did have something to do before, and I hid it from Madam He..."

When Mrs. He heard this, she was furious, "What are you hiding? To harm my daughter like this? Let me tell you, if there is anything wrong with my daughter, I will never let you go!"

Hearing this, Madam Zheng's face changed, and she knelt down with a plop, "Madam, please calm down! I, I really don't know what happened to Madam He. I only know that the original owner of the box is indeed dead, and the one next to her is dead." I really don’t know…”

Mrs. He still wanted to get angry.

Song Shiyun held her hand and asked Mrs. Zheng, "Who is the original owner of that box?"

"Yes..." Madam Zheng hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "It's Miss Qu Wanting, the beloved daughter of Lord Qu of Dali Temple."

Song Shiyun raised his eyebrows, "Isn't the Minister of Dali Temple Mr. Cai?"

Mrs. Zheng was taken aback.

Mrs. He replied: "Master Cai recovered from his illness half a month ago. The current Minister of Dali Temple is the former Young Minister of Dali Temple, Master Qu."

It was precisely because Mr. Cai had vacated his position that Huan Ting happened to be transferred there.

only……

Mrs. He remembered something and looked at Madam Zheng suspiciously, "But didn't Miss Qu die of illness half a year ago?"

As she said that, her pupils trembled, "So that box belonged to Miss Qu before?"

Madam Zheng nodded with difficulty, "Yes... Miss Qu, like Madam He, loves Master Shan's works very much. Almost as soon as Master Shan has a new work, Miss Qu will definitely buy it immediately. This time, the dowry box is naturally also No exception, she snatched one of the five sets of boxes earlier and kept them. However, as she died of illness, the Qu family took out some of the jewelry and dowry boxes she used during her lifetime. After all, that box was considered a dead person. The relics are somewhat unlucky. The Qu family didn't want to tell others. I...in order to sell the box smoothly, I hid it...Ms. He liked the box very much and took it back, but I really don't know. What could be wrong with that box..."

Rich families have many relics of dead people.

Usually it is collected by the family members.

There are also many people who, like the Qu family, take out valuable things and change hands.

It’s not that I’m short of money, it’s just taboo.

Especially those like Miss Qu who died of illness before they even got married.

It is generally very taboo at home.

Ordinary clothing and sundries will be burned if they are burned.

For example, jewelry, makeup, dowry boxes, etc. are all valuable and not damaged, so they are easy to sell, so they will naturally choose to sell them.

Miss Qu's death is no secret.

Therefore, when the Qu family took the box and secretly found Mrs. Zheng, she knew that the box belonged to Miss Qu.

The Qu family didn't ask for a high price at the time, they just wanted to sell it at a low price, but there was one condition: they couldn't tell others that the box was from their family.

After all, this is a dead person's object, and it is an expensive item. People who can afford it are very rich and are often particularly taboo.

Madam Zheng is usually not willing to take over items like this.

But the Qu family's offer was so low that it was almost like giving it away for free.

And once these things are resold, you can make a lot of money.

You're a bastard who doesn't want to make money!
Madam Zheng was moved. She checked the items sent by the Qu family, including the dowry box, and found that they were all in good condition.

The price at which it is resold will only be higher, not lower.

Mrs. Zheng still thought of it and collected all the things sent by the Qu family.

As for the origin of those objects, Madam Zheng didn't want to tell anyone else, lest the move would not go smoothly, so both parties hid it together.

Madam He had told Madam Zheng several times before to ask her to help keep an eye on Master Shan's dowry box.

She also said that as long as it was available and of good quality, she would accept it no matter how much it cost.

As soon as Madam Zheng accepted the dowry box, she naturally thought of Madam He.

She immediately sent someone to notify Lady He.

As soon as Mrs. He heard the news, she rushed over in a hurry.

She also asked Madam Zheng about the origin of the box in front of Madam Zheng, but Madam Zheng did not dare to tell her.

Madam He was only thinking about the box, so she put the box in her bag without asking any questions.

After taking action, Madam Zheng thought everything would be fine.

Who knew, the He family would come to visit today.

After all, that thing is unlucky and contaminated with the energy of death.

When Mrs. Zheng heard that Mrs. He was seriously ill, she was also worried that there might be something unclean on it that could hurt Mrs. He.When Mrs. Zheng learned that the He family was coming, she was wondering if the He family already knew that there was something wrong with the box.

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became.

Therefore, as soon as Song Shiyun said that Mrs. He was seriously ill and was about to die, and whether the He family would let her go or not would depend on her choice, she sold the Qu family based on the principle that a Taoist friend would die rather than a poor Taoist.

Song Shiyun narrowed his eyes and asked, "So, do you know that there is blood on the box?"

Madam Zheng looked up and saw Song Shiyun staring at her closely. She was inexplicably flustered and subconsciously avoided Song Shiyun's eyes.

Seeing this, Song Shiyun made a conclusion, "You know this."

She used declarative sentences.

Madam Zheng still wanted to say she didn’t know.

Song Shiyun's eyes turned cold.

Madam Zheng didn't know why, but she felt chills all over her body when she saw her. She made a 360-degree turn when she denied the words on her lips, "I...I seem to know..."

Song Shiyun smiled slightly, "I advise you to tell the truth."

Mrs. Zheng's scalp was numb and she could only tell the truth: "...I, I checked the box and found that there seemed to be a crack in one corner of the box. I looked inside under the firelight and saw that there seemed to be some stain inside, but …But I really don’t know what the stain is, I really don’t know…”

Song Shiyun said expressionlessly: "You are still lying to me now? If you don't know, why did you just say that you seem to know?"

Mrs. Zheng: "...I, I guessed...because Miss Qu died suddenly and violently...and she loved Master Shan's works very much. She must have placed this box in the house..."

This is true.

Madam Zheng had some vague guesses before, but she didn’t think deeply about it.

But just now Song Shiyun said that the box was stained with dead people's blood.

She just suddenly thought of it.

Miss Qu died of illness suddenly, and the box was kept in her house. It is difficult to say whether Miss Qu vomited blood before she died, and whether the blood stains were splashed on the box.

Therefore, Madam Zheng felt a little guilty.

But she was really not sure whether there was really dead blood on it.

Song Shiyun looked at Mrs. Zheng and judged whether what she was telling now was the truth or a lie.

When Mrs. He heard this, she was so angry that she was shaking all over. She raised her hand and was about to slap Madam Zheng.

Song Shiyun raised his hand in time and held her wrist before the slap fell.

When Mrs. Zheng saw Mrs. He's hand raised, she had already closed her eyes subconsciously.

But after waiting for a while, she didn't see the slap falling, and then she opened her eyes.

Seeing Song Shiyun holding Mrs. He's wrist, Mrs. Zheng didn't dare to breathe or relax at all.

Mrs. He looked at Song Shiyun angrily and aggrievedly, "Second Miss..."

Song Shiyun knew what she was thinking and comforted her: "Madam, it's useless even if you slap her face. We have to find out what's going on. This is the top priority."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. He glared at Mrs. Zheng so hard that she almost broke her silver teeth.

After a while, she lowered her hands as if she had mentally prepared herself.

Only then did Song Shiyun let her go.

Madam Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Song Shiyun looked at her, "Mrs. Cai just said that when the Qu family sold those items, they all sold them at low prices?"

Madam Zheng nodded hurriedly, "Exactly, it's almost free of charge. The market price of the dowry box is at least 300 taels of silver... but the Qu family only asked for [-] taels... it was almost free of charge!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Zheng suddenly thought of something, and suddenly she gritted her teeth and said: "I just said, how could the Qu family offer such a low price! The truth is, their family knew that there was something wrong with these items, so they were eager to sell them. !”

After all, the asking price is high. Madam Zheng may be hesitant, or she may not accept all the items, but only pick and choose a few items.

The Qu family obviously wants to sell all the items that Miss Qu has used.

Therefore, it must be sold at a low price.

Mrs. Zheng thought about this issue and became even more angry. She didn't expect that she thought she was so smart, but she let the Qu family fool her!

Sure enough, there is no such thing as a free bargain.
